Kilogram-Force to Kilonewton (kgf to kN)
Convert kgf to kN — Force converter
One kilogram-force equals 0.00980665 kN, so to convert kilograms-force to kilonewtons you multiply the value by 0.00980665. A kilogram-force is smaller than a kilonewton — going the other way, 1 kN = 101.971621 kgf. For example, 10 kgf = 0.0980665 kN and 50 kgf = 0.4903325 kN.
1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN
